A Community Revitalization project's purpose is to revitalize, through improvements, preservation or development, a residential area (or two residential sub-areas) delineated by a distinct boundary formed from property lines, streets, or natural topographical features.
Awards are made on a competitive basis.
Program Requirements: Eligible activities are housing activities (acquisition, disposition, clearance, relocation and rehabilitation), street improvements, public water and public sewer. Other activities may be eligible with pre-approval.
Maximum amounts: Restrictions apply depending on the scope of the project. Communities may request up to $850,000 for basic grants, which include housing, water/sewer, streets, and drainage, or up to $1 million for basic plus innovative grants, which additionally include non-basic activities such as community centers, parks, and other selected activities.

2008 CR scoring will be available after the 2008 awards are made.
Program Documents: These documents are needed to complete the 2008 Community Revitalization application.
- The
2008 HUD Income Limits document is needed to complete the form, VIII. National Objective Part B-1 Benefit: LMI Levels of Income, on page 93.
- The 2007-2008 Ability to Pay document enables a municipality or county to determine its relative position or ranking among all non-entitlement municipalities or counties and establish whether the local government should have funds for the project.
The ATP will not indicate how much money a local government should put in the project. It is only a guide to assist local governments in making a decision about the amount of local funds to commit to the project.
